trai-gunya-visaya veda
nistrai-gunyo bhavarjuna
nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho
niryoga-ksema atmavan
traigunya—pertaining to the three modes of material nature; visayah—on the subject matter; vedah—Vedic literatures; nistraigunyah—in a pure state of spiritual existence; bhava—be; arjuna—O Arjuna; nirdvandvah—free from the pains of opposites; nitya-sattva-sthah—ever remaining in sattva (goodness); niryoga-ksemah—free from (the thought of) acquisition and preservation; atmavan—established in the Self.
The Vedas mainly deal with the subject of the three modes of material nature. Rise above these modes, O Arjuna. Be transcendental to all of them. Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety, and be established in the Self.
